India’s passenger vehicle market stayed resilient in May 2026, with the top OEMs in the snapshot collectively dispatching 4,40,808 units.
This marked a strong 26.0% year-on-year growth over 3,49,713 units in May 2025.
However, compared to April 2026, the market was almost flat with a marginal 0.2% month-on-month decline, indicating that the industry maintained volumes after a strong April performance.
The biggest story of May 2026 was Maruti Suzuki’s sharp market share expansion, while Tata and Mahindra continued to remain closely placed in the second and third positions.
